DISCUSSION
Superintendent Report:
Zack informed the board that he has scheduled Decker Construction to replace two valves at the west water tower which should occur in 1-2 weeks. He also reported that on 10/7/25, water lines had to be shut down on each side of the lake for repairs causing reduced water pressure for a short time. As a result, a lake wide precautionary boil advisory was issued. Zack also reported that he and Diane recently attended the MRWA Fall Conference in St. Charles, MO, plus three meter installations, four leak repairs, and 40 locates have been completed in the last month.
Harlan Horst, Vice-President, announced the next meeting would be November 18, 2025, at the water plant. The meeting was adjourned at 5:15pm.
